I'm Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center and welcome to

We The People, a weekly show of constitutional debate.

The National Constitution Center is the only institution in America, chartered by Congress,

to disseminate information about the U.S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis.

And this is an important podcast because it's... on a nonpartisan basis.

And this is an important podcast because it's in commemoration of Constitution Day 2017,

which is the 230th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. and it also marks the launch of an exciting National

Constitution Center initiative, a Madisonian Constitution for all.

With this wonderful commission, co-chaired by the heads of the Federalist Society and the American

Constitution Society, and by senators and representatives of both parties, we will explore

on this podcast and over the coming years.

What would Madison think of our current presidency, Congress, courts, and media?

And how can we resurrect Madisonian values of public deliberation today.

Joining us to discuss these incredibly important questions and to launch this exciting

initiative on Constitution Day 2017 are two of America's leading constitutional scholars.

Stephen Calibrasi is Clayton J and Henry R. Barber, Professor of Law at the Northwestern

University Law School.

He is a co-founder of the Federalist Society, a member of the National

Constitution Center's Coalition of Freedom Advisory Board, and he has written extensively

about the Constitution, including in his latest book,

the Unitary Executive Presidential Power

from Washington to Bush.
